-Distinguished Vists.
There was in Manong last Friday,
lte a distinguished narty of gentle
en, they came here on business with
2dge John S. Wilson. The party was
ymposed of Attorney General Lyon
id Comptroller General Jones, of Co
tmbia, Captain Simeon Hyde and W.
..Holman, Esq., of the firm of Legare,
olmnan and Baker. of Charleston, and
[r. John 0. Edwards, former treasurer
Berkeley. The case argued before
dge Wilson was the bond of Mr. Ed
ards was sued, for a shortage claimed
y the comptroller general's odfice,
nounting to $5,5o6.23, this was the
nount claimed to have been short when
[r. Edwards turned the books of the
easurer's office to his successor. Mr.
olman contended that certain portions
the complaint were not sufliciently
>ecific in the following respects:
"I When and how under what cir
2mstances the amount therein alleged
be found to be due was so found and
certained.
". By specifying the date and
mount of each item ccnstituting the
id amount as alleged."
The effect of this would have been
>make the complaint state a detailed
atement or bill of particulars thereof.
Judge Wilson's order refuses the mo
on to make the complaint more defi
ie and specific and the plaintiff, the
tate of South Carolina, is allowed to
nend the complaint by changing the
iird cause of action therein and by
nending the prayer so as to make it
nform.
This is a most extraordinary case.
[r. J. 0. Ed wards was the county treas
er, of Berkeley county, an inspection!
is odfice showed a deficit. Mr. Ed
ards contends there is no deficit. and
sists that th'ere is not a cent of the
blic money short. His bondsmen have
verv confid'ence in hi m, and stand ready
niake good any slhortage without
it, but Mr. Edwards persists in pro
sting against the shortage !eavine
thing for the bondsmen to do, but to
low themselves sued and make the
tate prove Mr. Edwards a delinquent.
When this alleged shortage was first
ade public, Governor Ansel suspend
I Mr. Edwards, and a ppointed his suc
tssor, but so far as we have heard no
riminal action has ever been brought.
r. Edwards has the sympathy of the
eople of his county who have known
ii all of his life, none believe that
1ere is any criminality in his acts, if
is true that a shortage exists, it is
1e result of complicated book keeping.
will probably take an expert account
t to go over the books of that county
>r several years back to find oat the
act status, in the meantime Mr. Ed
ards maintamns his innocence, and de
tands the fullest investigation.
Here is a case where an innocent man
iay have had an irreparable injury
oie him. The fact of his b)ooks being
)und short, no matter the cause, and
2e same being published to the wvorld
calculated to do him harm, and when
ie matter is finally investigated, and
turns out he is right, there is no rem-i
d for him. His reputation has been
triouslv crippled, the office wvhich he
eld has been taken away, and now, al
ough it is proven the alleged short
ge is the result of a lot of double en
ries. nulla bona tax executions, and!
ther matters wvhich date away back of!
is administration he has no relief from
he State.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING
IV.-Creaing a
Demand For Goods
By Henry Herbert Huff
COPYRIGHT. 1909. BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
"Mr. Business Man, you spoke of your trouble in interesting
patrons in new and quality merchandise."
"Yes; these show up more profit than 'staples,' but for some
reason they do not sell readily."
"Here is your greatest opportunity to utilize good advertising.
Study the mail order catalogues. YPu can get many ideas from
them. Note the complete descriptions, the catchy headlines, f
the attractive cuts. This is a forceful example of the cre- o
ative side of advertising. Good newspaper publicity has a
double effect-(1) to take trade from less energetic competitors
and give it to the one who advertises and (2) to make more busi- 0
ness. If a well written ad. so presents the advantages of pos
sessing a talking machine, for instance, that some one becomes in
terested. and buys one, hasn't it made more business? If the
buyer had not thus been convinced of his need for one, he might
never have made such a purchase. That is just what advertising
is doing for the retailer and general advertiser alike."
"And it will interest my patrons-in good clothes?'
"Certainly. People dress so mu:h better today than ever be
fore, largely through the influence of advertising. Style depends e
very much upon it for existence. Practically all of our knowledge 0
of fashion and what is newest and best in the world's markets comes
to us through the newspaper and magazine ad. The public is inter- E
ested and quite eager to read. Let the local merchant talk about
such things in his ads., and he can make a demand for new and
quality goods. Readers need first To be shown WHY they should
possess any particular article, WHY they should dress better, WHY 0
they should put in a furnace, WHY they should buy a kitchen cabi- a
net. This study of 'selling points' will come later on. Take the
matter of good clothes. One of those illustrations, such as are
furnished to the trade by wholesale clothing makers, pictures the =
wearer with such a stylish, clean cut, well groomed appearance
enough to make any man want to dress better, particularly if helped
along with clinching arguments. People need to be TOLD what
they want and should have."
"And qualiW
"People need to be CONVINCED that the quality article is the z
most economical. Advertising carries your arguments to the buyer.
Often merchandise is claimed to 'sell on sight.' This is rarely true.
Most any article needs to have its good points presented before the
reader acquires a desire for it.
"Every man in business is an egotist. He believes he can fur
nish his customers merchandise of better quality at less cost or in C
a more satisfactory way than anybody else. He has no reason to
expect patronage except that he offers some greater inducement
than do his competitors. He needs to tell the public WHAT he E
has to sell and WHY they should buy it of him."
To Whom it May Concern.
This is to certify that we have had U. S. Gauger, W. E. Boykin to make s
ialysis and reguage of all our bulk whiskeys, and find them as follows:
